The Tejon Indian Tribe, located in Bakersfield, CA, is the only federally recognized tribe in Kern County. With a history deeply rooted in the Sierra Nevada mountains, the tribe's ancestors, belonging to the Kitanemuk nation, have inhabited this region long before it became part of the United States. After years of petitioning, the tribe achieved federal re-affirmation in 2012, and now focuses on empowering its members through healthcare, education, quality housing, and economic development. Committed to honoring their ancestors' prayers and preserving their cultural heritage, the Tejon Tribe strives to maintain a functioning tribe that cares for its members, community, and ancestral lands. With over 1,200 enrolled members, the majority residing in Kern County, the tribe aims to address the challenges faced by its underprivileged population and create a better future for generations to come.Generated from the website
